Abstract excerpt
In order to clarify some controversial phylogenies such as those regarding the triplet of human, rodent, and cow and the evolutionary position of Lagomorpha with respect to other mammals, we have analyzed both nuclear and mitochondrial genes using the stationary Markov model developed in our laboratory. We found that the two sets of genes give different results. In particular the mitochondrial tree showed rabbit...
